About this design

At least three trial designs were sent to the British Museum in London, England. Two designs were adopted, one in the late 1980s (known to be available 1988-2001) and another around 1997-1998. These were only available for sale in the IOWSG shop and British Museum shop. Some of the trials were kept in the IOWSG archives, but most (all?) were subsequently released for sale.

From around 1988/89 to early 2000s

According to a collector who has the complete collection for this early design, there were three sizes of globe perfume bottles, two sizes of shouldered (Ali Baba) perfume bottles, and two sizes of paperweights. Some of these pieces were apparently bought direct from the IOWSG studio shop around 1988/89. However, this same collector has a large globe perfume bottle and a paperweight of this design marked 'BM 2001'. Therefore, the design was apparently available for quite a long time.
